Tyre reviews Hankook W429 i Pike RS2. Page 29 1813

Delivery is not on time, it's delayed! Moreover, for a long time, I don't recommend buying here

The tires all came from the same year of production (2025). They performed great on the road!

Pros: Excellent tires.
Cons: None

Year 25. China. Soft sidewall, Extra Load inscription is present.

Delivery via PEC, not in the most convenient location in Novosibirsk, and the first time it's not obvious what's there and where to go... let's just say it's not obvious, but it has no relation to the product itself.

Made in Korea, super purchase, satisfied, recommend

Hankook W429 i Pike RS2 225/50 R17 98T XL
Good tires in terms of Price-Quality ratio

the quality is not very good for the money

Radial tire structure refers to the internal structure of the tire, which is composed of layers of rubber, steel, and other materials. The radial structure is designed to provide a stable and comfortable ride, with the layers of material arranged in a radial pattern to absorb shocks and distribute the weight of the vehicle evenly. This structure also helps to improve the tire's traction, handling, and fuel efficiency.

The radial tire structure includes the tread, sidewall, and bead, which work together to provide a smooth and stable ride. The tread is the outermost layer of the tire, and is responsible for providing traction and handling. The sidewall is the layer between the tread and the bead, and helps to absorb shocks and distribute the weight of the vehicle. The bead is the innermost layer of the tire, and is responsible for seating the tire on the rim and maintaining its shape.

Radial tires are designed to be more fuel-efficient and have a longer lifespan than other types of tires. They are also designed to provide a more comfortable ride, with reduced vibration and noise. Overall, the radial tire structure is an important component of a vehicle's suspension system, and plays a critical role in providing a safe and comfortable ride.

In the photo, I saw the "Korea" logo on the tire sales, thought it was great, I'll buy Made in Korea now. The wheels arrived earlier than the expected receipt date, excellent. Went to pick them up, the first wheel, oh class Made in Korea, 24th year of release, the second one China, 25th year of release, some disappointment. In the end, 2 wheels Made in Korea and 2 wheels Made in China arrived.
In general, I'm satisfied with the purchase, the tires are fresh and at a very attractive price, 9 thousand per wheel, when the same Chinese ones cost 13-14 thousand in the store, I didn't miscalculate. I've been using Hakook for not the first year, I only take them for winter. Respect to the seller!

Advantages: The product matches the description, I ordered it at a good discount, received it earlier than the deadline, ordered it in the evening, and it was ready to be picked up from the store's warehouse the next day. The tires arrived on the same date, 24th week of 25th year. All the studs are in place, and the quality of the manufacturing looks good. They also gave me a gift - a set of bags.

Disadvantages: I'm updating my review on 11/10/25. I went to get my tires balanced with a Hunter vibration control system, and out of the 4 tires, 2 were normal, but the other 2 were barely balanced with a lot of weights. One wheel had 30/70g, and the other had 20/60g (I've attached additional photos, unfortunately, half of the weights didn't fit). Accordingly, the indicators showed a force non-uniformity of 12 kg and 14 kg, no matter how we rotated the tires, the result was the same. At speeds above 80-100, there will be an unpleasant vibration. Visually, during the balancing process, there are non-uniformities on the tires in the form of bumps. According to GOST, the allowed force non-uniformity is 3.5% of the maximum load on the tire, which is 580 kg, resulting in almost 21 kg. It's clear that this is not what you'd call a "square deal". Consequently, you won't get any warranty or anything. To be honest, you can just throw them in the trash. It's a lottery.

I received the product quickly, the store has a comfortable waiting area, and the order pickup (warehouse) is nearby, literally the next door.
